SOLAR WATCH * 312 M & 25 X FLARES starting 3-7-2011 (Updated Daily)

I don't know a lot about this stuff but it does interest me. I have been following for a while and have couple questions..

1- so are you guys looking for an x-class here? let's say we were to have one..what would the implications be?

2- it seems that x-class flares are not too uncommon so what is the hype?

Hang out here for a couple of weeks. You'll pick up real quick on what is all hype and what needs to be watched. The daily crew posting here is way ahead of the curve. Nasa wishes they had these guys. I think they actually lurk here to find out what is going on.

thanks for the replies to my questions..so then is there a high chance that we will be seeing a x-flare or CME (or both if they go hand-in-hand sometime)in the near future? or do we just not know yet?

one point of concern regarding x flares and cme's is that presently the earths magnetosphere is weak, (looking even possible magnetic pole reversal maybe?) which increases chances of system damage more probable if get an earth facing blast . whether thats likely in this weak sun cycle or we got something in store yet, is to be seen (thankfully theres ppl here that post and watch, respect to all work efforts, i'd be lost without it for one!)

So many storms/tornado's in the south, its 25 where i'm at in cali and 60 back home in Ohio. None of this weather makes any sense. One of my main concerns is I believe the Sun or other cosmic source is driving this weather. Global warming is TPTB fabricated b.s lies.

Wow that sucks, i'm not a big weather guy so it may be normal for all I know. The gulf jet seems to be mixing with cold air near EU and forming a large storm shape in the middle of the Atlantic. With all strange weather going on and our sun behaving odd as well I think there is a connection to be made.

FYI - Just being picky here but it is called the "sub-tropical jet" not the "gulf jet"

It seems that there is a increase in solar wind speed, density and temperature. Did we expect a CH wind stream or a weak CME? [link to www.solarham.net]

AR1654 is now stepping into the center-stage spotlight and will be directly Earth-facing for the next few days. Weakening or not, this is one huge sunspot; and I have a hunch he's been waiting to line us up for X. I'm not sure what kind of ruler they use to measure solar millionths, but I use the GLP Smilie unit of measure. Today my pic of 1654 was over the pixel-weight limit, so I had to shave it down to fit. In other words this AR is still elongating.Latest HMI Intensitygram: [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov]
